The Bethlehem Central School District’s Green Team has again partnered with the Town of Bethlehem and the Delmar Farmers Market to hold the town’s Fourth Annual America Recycles Day Collection Event on Saturday, Nov. 18, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bethlehem Central Middle School.

This event is part of “Re-Clothe NY”— an EPA award-winning statewide environmental campaign reminding residents to recycle all unwanted clothing, footwear, and other textiles such as sheets, towels, tablecloths, underwear and single socks.

This event will feature a clothing and other textile recycling collection open to all capital region residents, and this year it will also include a book reuse/recycling collection and secure document shredding. Shredding is limited to Town of Bethlehem residents and BCSD taxpayers with ID; with a maximum of 3 medium-sized boxes per household. Local charity Grassroots Givers will cull the collected books for reusable titles before the remaining books are recycled. They have a particular need for children’s books, though all books may be brought to the collection.
